CHAPTER 604: CHAPTER 577: CHIEF LEADER 95

In the evening, Shuangshuang warmed up the fish soup she hadn’t finished on Ta Xue and first fed Ta Xue’s little belly. Ta Xue was at a growing stage, and every time it ate its fill, it would lay on Shuangshuang, asleep with all four paws up in the air.

Even when Cang Yun sent people to invite Shuangshuang to attend the bonfire party hosted by the Crocodile Tribe, Ta Xue didn’t wake up during the lively gathering, instead clinging to Shuangshuang’s arm and sleeping soundly in the midst of all the noise.

The main purpose of this bonfire party was to welcome and thank Shuangshuang. To ensure Shuangshuang had a good time, Cang Yun prepared a lot of meat. At this moment, all kinds of roasted meat were sizzling and dripping with oil over the blazing bonfire, with a rich aroma spreading all around.

Although the Crocodile Tribe only sprinkled some salt, which they regarded as extremely precious, on the roasted meat, the quality of meat in this world was so good that even without various seasonings to enhance the flavor, it was already very enticing when roasted.

When Shuangshuang arrived, Chacha was spinning incessantly around his brother Cang Yun, his eyes full of longing as he looked at the skewers of oily roasted meat in Cang Yun’s hands.

The Crocodile Tribe didn’t often eat meat either. Although the Great Tribe didn’t worry about hunting, it didn’t mean they could find enough prey, and with a large population, they couldn’t easily eat meat freely.

If Shuangshuang hadn’t saved Chacha and if Shuangshuang himself wasn’t on the verge of breaking through to become a Level 4 warrior, Cang Yun and Mu Sheng wouldn’t have held such a lavish bonfire party to befriend Shuangshuang.

Even though he’d indulged in a few rounds of roasted meat with Shuangshuang, the roasted meat at this moment still held unparalleled appeal to Chacha, as children’s nature is to be greedy and love to eat meat.

However, upon seeing Shuangshuang, Chacha immediately gave up the temptation of the roasted meat, cheerfully dashing over to hug Shuangshuang’s leg.

"Sister, you finally came. Chacha has been waiting for you for so long. Chacha has been looking after a skewer of exceptionally well-roasted meat for you that my brother cooked, just waiting for Sister to come and eat it with Chacha."

Chacha, without hesitation, claimed the meat that his brother Cang Yun had roasted to please Shuangshuang. Standing behind Chacha, Cang Yun was so annoyed that he coldly snorted, raising his hand to give his ungrateful, little brother’s head a smack, then split a skewer of meat for Chacha and sent him off to play.

After sending off his ungrateful brother, Cang Yun held up the already cooked roasted meat in his hand and smiled at Shuangshuang, saying, "Miss Shuangshuang, try my cooking and see what you think of the taste."

Shuangshuang smiled as she took the roasted meat from him, took a bite, and praised, "It’s delicious. I never thought that Leader Cang Yun would have such an amazing talent for roasting meat."

These words from Shuangshuang were not merely to flatter Cang Yun, though Cang Yun’s roasted meat wasn’t as good as her own, hers relied on seasoning, whereas Cang Yun’s delicious roasted meat relied entirely on his skill with controlling the heat.

If they were to truly compare skill, he would be a five-star chef, and Shuangshuang would just be an ordinary little cook; there’s no comparison between the two.

This night of the bonfire party was quite enjoyable for Shuangshuang. Because she saved Chacha, the people of the Crocodile Tribe were very friendly towards her, and without Mu Sheng probing her from the side, Shuangshuang had a very enjoyable night.

The people of the Crocodile Tribe displayed a rough exterior yet were attentive. They not only took great care of Shuangshuang’s feelings but also didn’t forget the Earth King Beast she brought along, providing plenty of fresh, tender grass. At the moment, the Earth King Beast was happily munching away in a pile of tender grass.

Since no one had much of a sense of time, everyone played until late at night when they felt sleepy and decided to call it a night, quickly tidying up before returning to their stone huts to rest.

Feeling quite full, Shuangshuang returned to the stone house Cang Yun had arranged for her, carrying Ta Xue who had slept deeply at first, then woke up midway to play wildly, and was now deeply asleep again, then fell asleep herself soon after.

The night was quiet, and Shuangshuang was half asleep in her stone room when she suddenly sensed a rustling sound coming from the ground. Initially, with her mind not fully awake, she thought it was mice tunneling underground and didn’t pay much attention.

But soon, Shuangshuang realized something was wrong because she suddenly remembered that Chacha had been captured by the Cave-dwelling Tribe, known for their tunneling skills.

With this thought, Shuangshuang’s drowsy mind instantly cleared. She immediately jumped out of bed, leaned down on the ground, and listened carefully to the sounds from below. Indeed, though the noises underground were suppressed, there was definitely something moving quickly.

Shuangshuang was certain that the sounds were caused by people. Noting the speed at which they were moving away underground, she didn’t have time to think twice. She stood up and rushed out of the house.

Following the path of the person underground, Shuangshuang quickly chased after them above ground, then gathered her energy, raised her foot, let the surging Warrior Power envelop her foot, and then stomped down heavily!

Shuangshuang’s strength was already immense, incomparable to when she was a Second-level Warrior. When combined with the Warrior Power, her stomp was no less powerful than the Earth King Beast at full size stomping down.

The entire ground was sent crashing down into a huge pit by Shuangshuang’s stomp! As soon as this pit appeared, a dirt-covered person crawled up from the void, carrying a half-grown child bound tightly on his back.

The reason the person was able to crawl out alive was naturally because Shuangshuang showed mercy, calculating the location to tread on the ground ahead of them.

Shuangshuang did this not out of concern for the possible safety of someone from the Cannibal Clan. She was worried that they had already captured someone from the Crocodile Tribe, and if she were to act rashly, she might harm the captives.

In fact, Shuangshuang’s concern was indeed correct, as the person indeed had a captured child from the Crocodile Tribe with them.

The figure that emerged from the ground was very short. In this world, warriors generally stood around two meters tall, and even women were often up to one meter seventy-eight.

Yet the man who climbed out from underground was at most one meter sixty ― extremely short compared to the generally two-meter tall men of this world, and even shorter than the women.

It should be noted that Shuangshuang’s height is now one meter eighty, which pleases Shuangshuang greatly. Being one meter eighty is considered fairly tall for a woman in this world, and Shuangshuang likes being tall.
